“EDIT: I had to update this review to 5 stars (from 3) because... Read the response below. Sounds like a tough night, and clearly this place seriously cares about their customers. Ownership like that is rare, and should be supported. Original review below.This is a tough review to write, because the food is not bad, and the concept is pretty cool. The pizza is definitely in the style of cafeteria food pizza (very Americana), but it's probably the best version of that style of pizza you could find. My only gripe on the food itself is that the dough could be a bit more flavorful, but that's about it.However, this place has the absolute slowest service imaginable. I've only ever seen two people working here (maybe the couple of owners?) and they desperately need a third employee. You can't order ahead of time, and expect to wait 30-40 minutes after any order.Related, but their weekday hours are terrible. By closing at 7pm, you're basically ensuring that few will make it, so everyone comes on the weekends, and then they're totally overloaded.I ordered a dessert as we were finishing our food, and 35 minutes later I just had to tell them to cancel it, because it was never coming. Unfortunately, no refund because you pay when putting in the order. That's poor service no matter how you cut it.“
“Seems like a cool spot. Only stopped by for a cider at 8 pm on a Monday and it was admittedly a dead area but the cider was solid - light and refreshing and had plenty of options.I imagine when the weathers nice this place would have nice vibes.“
“The best Italian food you will get in the PNW. I am 100% Italian and very picky with authentic Italian food and this place is THE BEST! I have eaten at many Italian Restaurants in Seattle and Tropea has them all beat. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend a visit!“
“Excellent, delicious pizza at an affordable price. I paid $28 for a large size combo pizza (it has 7 toppings) and the pizza was delicious, crust was cooked wonderfully and the toppings all tasted very fresh. It easily fed all four of us with a couple slices left over. Easily the best pizza I've ever had from a pizza chain.“
“What a lovely experience. We got a reservation here a few hours beforehand. Parking was super easy, there’s a big lot right outside. We walked in and found out there was a violinist playing in the restaurant! She was wonderful, she even played one of our favorite songs. We arrived about half an hour before our reservation and they were luckily able to seat us right away. The service was very good and we had several people taking care of us and periodically checking in.The atmosphere was great, very peaceful even with so many people. The crowd was mostly older (~35-60) well dressed people, I assume out for date night. My fiancée and I talk pretty softly at restaurants as not to disturb our neighbors and our neighbors were just as quiet as us, so this place has people with respect and social etiquette. I will say this place has the tables crammed in, I’m plus size and I had to weave around the room to get to my chair in the back and then actually move the table so I could fit in between to get to the booth, which was very unfortunate and a bit embarrassing.The food was fabulous. Im a vegetarian and there were a fair number of vegetarian dishes, although most of those lacked creativity. I’d love to see more inspired vegetarian options. We had the flatbread with roasted garlic and goat cheese and the risotto mozzarella balls to start. Both were great, tasted very fresh. The red sauce with the risotto balls was outstanding, warm and rich with a kick to it. The drinks were delicious, I got their autumn respite and it was particularly good and a somewhat unique flavor combination. I had the pesto pasta for dinner and although the sauce was quite runny it had great flavor. Restaurant pestos often disappoint but this one was fresh and delicate. They got my order wrong the first time but corrected it pretty quickly, which I was thankful for since my fiancée won’t begin eating without me. He got the carbonara which he said was also quite good.For dessert we got the gelato and sorbet trio and it was hands down the best pistachio gelato I’ve ever had, which happens to be my favorite. They were out of the coconut, my second favorite, which was disappointing. They were also out of the red meat option, which my fiancée really wanted, so that was also quite disappointing, as he doesn’t care for pasta generally and this was one of the few mains without it. I had the homemade arancella which was fabulous and he got a grappa that happened to be one of his favorites. The wine was so good too.Throughout the night we had 3 different staff checking in on us so we never sat there waiting for help. Each one of them was wonderful but not overbearing. It genuinely seemed like they didn’t mind (dare I say enjoyed?) the work atmosphere. They didn’t rush the bill either. We spent about an hour and a half here.As people who usually go out in Seattle, we were shocked that the place was nearly cleared out by 815, but I imagine is due to the older clientele they were serving that night and the general calmness of the Redmond region.Overall, the meal was exceptional. We rarely find ourselves in Redmond and we don’t often go to a place twice unless it’s VERY good but I will be coming back and I eagerly await another violin date night at Blue Sardinia. I highly recommend this place, even if you have to drive out from Seattle.“
“Love this casual and fun spot- nothing fancy but a good time. Great options for girls night, dude beers out or even dates with live music, comedy and trivia. Date night people: break the ice on first date with comedy night. Laugh or roll your eyes but do it together at Northwest Brewing.“
“We ordered Andhra fry chicken curry and malabar parota. The taste in itself was really good although the curry was very oily.We mentioned this to the server and he was kind enough to get that as a feedback and communicate that with the chef.If you are health conscious, you can mention your preferences before ordering.Otherwise it’s a good restaurant with tasty food. Would recommend.“
“Awesome place for pizza, speciallyindian pizza, fully loaded, with a lot of variety and on time delivery. Sizes are pretty good and my go to place for pizza. Prices on Uber pickup or delivery is higher than in the store. So get it from store if you want to save some bucks.“
“The food here is great, they're consistently good. Closer to my place, so it is convenient. The 4-star is for the service, whenever we place a to go order, even if they say 30 minute for the order to be ready, it had never been ready in that time frame.“
“Was trying to find a cozy bar near me, and this place came up. I thought it would be a great place to grab a drink and relax from a long and hard week from being a parent, working, etc.I was truly disappointed when I realized the place was full of kids 8 and younger, including a baby as well. I really don't mind kids, I have them myself, but this really ruin the vibe of trying to mentally (and physically) run away from the real world and enjoy the drink without the everyday reality.The service was truly amazing, the food and drinks were too, and the ambiance was beyond relaxing (if it weren't for the kids).I think this is due to a hotel above, but still. If it is called a lounge and people would choose it based on that, then the hotel really needs to try to separate the two.I felt as if I came to have a martini on a daycare playground.I will recommend if kids don't really ruin your vibe, but I don't think I'll be back myself.Amazing place, truly, really checked off every I was looking for, except the screaming, running, crying bunch of kids, though. ?“
“Always have had a great experience with this location, as they are friendly and get my orders correct each time. I’ve also made the mistake of ordering online for a different location, thinking it was this one. They made up new pizzas for me so I didn’t have to drive to the other location 25 minutes away. Wow! They are very considerate and kind.“
“Went on a Friday night and was too hungry to wait the 1.5 hrs to get a table, so came back earlier the next day and got a table after 45 min. Well worth the wait! Tables are all in a covered outdoor area, so bring a coat because it’s a bit chilly if you’re not directly under a heat lamp. The cocktail list is small (they have a micro bar) but all the drinks were well made. Negroni was perfect and not too bitter. Beet & Arugula salad was nice and fresh, loved the hazelnuts in it. They sold out of Detroit pizzas in their first hour so we got three of their regular pizzas that were all delicious. The crust is super fluffy and not soggy at all. I’m usually a marinara crust dipper but the homemade ranch stole the show. Definitely coming back armed with snacks and a warm coat for the long wait!“
